Re: NEESON? SKARSGARD? OR?

I think Neeson would have been great.

I think Skarsgard did fine, and Dominion is just fine with him. But if Neeson starred, I think it would have gone a long way in making the film fit more with the Friedkin film. To me, Skarsgard looks a lot like Max Von Sydow, but I think Neeson actually is a closer match.

I do also like the idea of Merrin becoming tougher and deeper-voiced with time; the progression adds realism and believability.

Maybe one day Neeson will star in the rumored remake of the Friedkin film. I think the public and Skarsgard are sick of Exorcist prequel and the Exorcist in general. Well, many seem to be, disappointingly.

M.I.K.E.
